What players say
98% of 31,168 reviews are positive · 97% of 136 in the last 30 days
Players praise the fluid movement and shooting, wide build variety, and co-op. Many experienced players say a major update made maps more restrictive, weakened loot, and turned the highest difficulty ranks into an RNG-heavy grind.
